Yeah, My tiefling Bard died of overconfidence against those things with hair that suck surges and the Oni Souleater, remember?   Now this one is entirely ranged, no more silliness with thinking he should be in melee. Also, aside from having All skills, he also has all languages.

I would like to sell Agile opportunist to all three of you. If you are slid, pushed or pulled, as an immediate reaction you can make a melee basic attack as a free action. Now this is more powerful for Meatshop because his damage class feature is useable more than once per round. But then if Stingray or Cos' thingie whose name is unknown to me misses, i can easily use a power so they can use that rounds Quarry damage or Sneak Damage. Cos can also look forward to illusory erasure because aside from sliding him, it also turns him invisible for CA. I have the following powers and class features that slide:   Virtue of Cunning (no action, slide ally when enemy misses them) Majestic Word (Minor action heal + slide) 1e shout of triumph 2u Moment of escape 5d Tune of Ice and wind 6u Allegro 7e scorpion claw strike 10u illusory erasure

[Dong]

wow! wow! wow! you speak every language! and the skills!!! [dont
forget -1 ACP]
nung narinig ko na bard gagawin mo - naisip ko meh not another bard.
tapos i texted you the same exact thing cos posted diba?
lolz. pero ngayong nasilip ko na sha - kakkoii!!!

magkaiba pala ung power posts mo - which one is it? the second?
very ingenious using untrained spiked shield. kaso your weapon dailies
and encs suffer 2 accuracy
malaki laki din yon a. consider getting rid of one of your fluffier
heroic feats for sup wep prof spk shld.
add a generic rapier or khopesh to put in the scabbard.

atsaka light blade ang spiked shield
mag versatile expert - hvy/light ka nalang since di naman inaallow ng
cb ang light/light

bakit mo pa si-16 ung wis mo at fi-15 ung int mo? switch them around
with dex kasi kailangan mo rin sha for init.
pag ginawa mong: str 11 con 12 dex 15 int 16 wis 14 cha 17
you get: str 12 con 13 dex 16 int 20 wis 17 cha 23
- your perception and insight don't suffer by much.
- your ac goes up to 29
- your init goes up to +13 [btw feytouched armor and timeless locket
don't stack] [btw btw: timeless locket - bellie naaasss]
- your rider effects become more powerful!!!!!!

btw btw btw: you won't qualify for heart of sword [cue tm revolution]
til lvl 11 so mix mo nalang ung feat prog mo:
Level 8: Bardic Knowledge
Level 10: Versatile Expertise (Heavy Blade/Heavy Blade)
Level 11: Heart of the Blade [Heart of Sword - for more win!] make it
your intro song!

ano pala visual cues namin for REN?

-scratch that - get a farbond spellblade longsword +3 and a small
shield or a rhythm blade dagger +1:
arrow of warning is now +20 atk 3d8+9 dmg
rhyme of blood-seeking blade +20 atk 1d8+9 dmg
scorpion's claw strike +20 atk 2d8+9 dmg
AC 29 REF 27 - boo-yah and still speak all the languages.

[Dong]

oh and battle harness stacks with timeless locket.
if you went 16 dex - which i beg you to
REN is looking at a possible +16 init. san ka pa?

[Cupkeyk]

I did eventually swap abilities for higher Dex, kasi Dex based ang attacks ng Jack-of-All-Trades. Yeah Battle Harness and Timeless Locket But I am now considering Healer's Brooch+Eladrin Armor. Eladrin Armor Braidmail is cheaper so I can buy more shit. No Armor Check Penalty Or speed Penalty too. Do I need a +16 Init? So I can make guys attack earlier?   My power list is the secon one, assuming you guys got Agile Opportunist. If no one got Agile opporetunist, I will get the first list. Also I will spam AB penalties since they will help trigger Virtue of Cunning for more attacks. I might get rid of Improved Cunning for Psychic Lock para Vicious Mockey imposes a -4, more virtue of cunning, more slides, more free attacks.

eets beutiful. right on, right on. onga naman foolhardy fighting
nalang cunning power mo lolz.
nga lang sly dodge only gives you a choice between bluff and
intimidate.
and you won't get the extra 3 skills til 16.
imo - since marginal ung gains mo with the rest - get perception,
dungeoneering, nature and streetwise for your bard skills.

[Dong]

ayus ung maskara fare - ang mura - bacolod pa talaga.
check namin kung may moolah kami next sweldo.
sensya na deka akei.
ren keeps forgetting his (her?) floating light shield - for the 28 ac
and reflex.
drowmesh only gives 2 ac and 1 ref kasi.
the shield is only 360 and is a handy flotation device lolz.

[Cupkeyk]

I have a mundane shield, the 28AC already assumes leather + shield. Floating Light shield? Kasi I was thinking na eventually I will move my farbond spellblade effect to my spiked shield so i can make my longsword Githyanki Silver. My spiked shield will be for my Ranged Weapon attacks tapos my Githyanki Silver Longsword will be for my Weapon and Implement attacks. Actually a Githyanki Silver Drow Long Knife (Lol what?) will have all the effects I need except at a smaller dice d6 vs d8 and a feat. I can drop Improved Initiative for that.   Taga bacolod pala si Loren, according to Johann. Tama?

[Dong]

yeah bacolodian.
you'll need to spend a feat for spiked shield din and its +2 lang
the gith drow long knife [lulz] is mas mas bettahr.
nets you a lot more for that feat slot.

[Cupkeyk]

No I don't have to spend a feat to use it as an IMPLEMENT. The spiked shield is a light blade ergo a legal target for Farbond spellblade. Heart of sword allows me to use light blades as implements.   Anyway, you are right. I am switching to a silvered githyanki silver drow longknife because the name is so absurd I cannot let it pass. Which brings me to an issue. I now have three level 14 items. I previously opted for a level 14 item in my level 15 slot.   I can go: Level 14 Battle Harness Drowmesh or Timeless Locket Level 14 silvered githyanki silver drow longknife Level 13 ???? (Worse AC, better Reflex, +18 Initiative) Or   Level 15 Torc of Power Preservation or Brooch of Vitality Level 14 silvered githyanki silver drow longknife Level 13 Eladrin Braidmail (Better AC, Better Will, +12 Initiative, will require a Ruby scabbard)

[Cupkeyk]

Level 15 Slot: Level 14 Timeless Locket Level 14 Slot: Silvered Githyanki Silver Drow Long Knife Level 13 Slot: Any level 13 armor + 4000GP to upgrade to Battle Harness Drowmesh   which leaves me 5000GP for items, which seems okay naman.
